Participants will learn the fundamental concepts and bioinformatics skills needed for epitranscriptome analysis, and acquire specific skills in command-line tools for calling, annotating, and filtering RNA variants. The course also covers theoretical aspects of RNA editing and practical sessions focused on its detection in human/mouse transcriptomes using Illumina RNAseq data.</span></div><br><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">COURSE TOPICS:</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">- Theoretical aspects of Nanopore direct RNA sequencing to profile RNA modifications;</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">- Hands-on bioinformatics tools for the analysis of Nanopore direct RNA sequencing data;</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">- Theoretical aspects of computational methods to detect RNA editing in human/mouse transcriptomes using Illumina RNAseq data.</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">- Hands-on bioinformatics tools for calling, annotating, and filtering RNA editing events.</span></div><br><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the course Local Organizers (elixirit.tp.bari@gmail.com)</span></div><br><br><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Thank you for your interest</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Organisers</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><br></div></span></div></div></div></div></div><div>
